Films
During a Nordic summer, a group of children, aged between seven and eleven, reveal their dark and mysterious powers without the adults realizing it.
The beginning of a parable about the fine line that separates good from evil, Eskil Vogt shows, in this film, (using children as the greatest example) human nature as neither good nor bad, but malleable to whatever the environment allows or imposes. However, in The Innocents, this development can be radically altered by a single event.
